Our
college has rolled out a new email system that will be a new way for you to
receive official college email communications. With this new Google-powered system,
you will have an email address that is your MEID (the combination of letters
and numbers you use to access the student information system)@maricopa.edu.
Effective in July, this is the way your college will send you financial aid and
enrollment information and other important documents. That’s why you should
become familiar with the email system right away.
To
use the system, go to www.maricopa.edu/Google. Your user name is your MEID.
Your password is the password you use with your MEID to access your account in
the Student Information System.
Along
with your new email account you will also have access to a powerful set of
Google tools, including Google Docs, an online suite of office productivity
applications featuring word processing, spreadsheets and presentations. Using
these tools, you can collaborate with others on the same documents in real
time. Documents are saved online, so you have access to them at any time, no
matter what computer you use.
If
you have problems with the email system or need support, please go to www.google.com/support.

An engineer, biologist, and a chemist went to the ocean for their first time...
The engineer was fascinated by the waves and decided to research the fluid dynamics. He went into the ocean and drowned.
The biologist was amazed with the flora and fauna of the ocean. He decided to research this ocean life, went into the ocean and drowned.
The chemist waited for a long time, and finally wrote this observation - "The engineer and biologist are soluble in salt water."

Chemistry

The recent hurricanes
and gasoline issues are proof of the existence of a new chemical element. A
major research institution has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest
element yet known to science.
The new element has been named *Governmentium*. Governmentium (Gv) Has
one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant
deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held
together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities
of lepton-like particles called peons.
Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be
detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into
contact. A minute amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would
normally take less than a second, to take over four days to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 4 years; It does
not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion
of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact,
Governmentium's Mass will actually increase over time, since each
reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that
Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This
hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass. When catalyzed
with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium - an element which radiates
just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but
twice as many morons
